Title is a little alarmist. The bug is not really a problem right now. We don't know if Bitcoin is going to be here 2 years from now, let alone when the block reward gets to zero in a hundred years.
Indeed, very title, much scary!!!  Tongue
Actually, the problem will occur in 140 years!!!

The problem occurs when the block reward has been halved 63 or 64 times (including after the reward is already 0). That won't happen for another 200 to 250 years.
